Forza Motorsport 7 Loot Boxes Being Removed Due to Controversy this year

In response to the loot box controversy stirred up after the release of Star Wars Battlefront 2 political groups around the world have taken notice of the system. Now Forza Motorsport 7 is removing prize crates from the game this year.

The blog post stated the following:

One major area of discussion for the team has been prize crates. While we’ve never charged money for prize crates in Forza Motorsport 7, their presence in the game has continued to be a source of controversy. The overwhelming feedback has been that this system feels out of place in the game. After careful consideration, we have decided to completely remove prize crates from Forza Motorsport 7. Similarly, paid tokens – which were a part of previous Forza games – will not be coming to Forza Motorsport 7 or Forza Horizon 4.

Turn 10 explained that the game was developed around Prize Crates and will require time for them to be removed.

Due to the complexity of removing prize crates from the game – while keeping access to Driver Gear, Mods and Badges – we expect that this process will be completed in the winter timeframe. Starting this month we’ve already taken steps towards that goal, first by unlocking more than 100 previously locked “exclusive” cars and, second, by completely removing cars from the prize crates in the game. The current lineup of prize crates offer no competitive advantage and only offer Driver Gear suits, Mods and badges, and these crates will remain in place until crates are removed entirely.

Forza Motorsport 7 joins Middle-earth: Shadow of War in the latest game to remove loot boxes from their game. With heavily backfire from gamers and political figures.

Forza Motorsport 7 is now available for Xbox One and Windows 10.
